We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Bad Rappenau in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
