Do you have any tips for my flight to Assen?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Assen before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Assen?
Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Assen easy and painless. Check out our handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
