Cheap Flights to Konstanz

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your holiday in Konstanz. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Konstanz in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
