Cheap Flights to Wittmund

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Wittmund could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your trip to Wittmund easy and painless. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
