Do you have any tips for my flight to Essen?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Essen in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers 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 suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Essen?
The trick is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Essen before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
