Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Oberwiesenthal could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.
