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.
