Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Chemnitz holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
