Cheap Flights to Oberhausen

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Oberhausen could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Oberhausen, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
