Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Strasburg could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, 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 luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
