Do you have any tips for my flight to Gelsenkirchen?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Gelsenkirchen before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of 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 or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gelsenkirchen?
The trick is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Gelsenkirchen in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
