We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Magdeburg in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
