We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Jena in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
