We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Ulm in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
