Do you have any tips for my flight to Oelwein?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Oelwein vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget 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 airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Oelwein?
The secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Oelwein in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
