If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Cochem.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
