Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Oberharz am Brocken could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
