How to survive the flight to Gelsenkirchen?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve prepared well. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Gelsenkirchen holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you’ve got all the right gear. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put 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 beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gelsenkirchen?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Gelsenkirchen, here you come:

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
