We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Rostock in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
