We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and discovering Koblenz in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
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 liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.
