Do you have any tips for my flight to Riesa?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Riesa in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, 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 Riesa?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Riesa easy and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:
  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
