Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips that will get your Koblenz holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
