Do you have any tips for my flight to Essen?

  • What you pack in your carry-on luggage can make the difference between a comfortable flight, and one that wears you out. Start with the crucial things, like your passport (or a valid ID) and your travel documents. Once they’re safely packed, toss in any medications you might need. After that, consider your comfort factor. A neck pillow, noise-canceling headphones and a novel will help the hours fly by while you’re in the air.
  • There’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between carriers. Generally, avoid carrying anything sharp, explosive or flammable. This includes things like pocket knives, razor blades, flares and aerosol cans. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, ski poles and objects considered weapons, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren’t the place for a fashion parade. Layer up in comfy clothing and bring a hoodie as it can get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are best for longer journeys.
  • The condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting caused by poor circulation and inactivity. Wandering up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated can prevent it developing. Wearing compression tights or socks also helps to lower your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Essen?
The key to booking a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Essen is to be flexible. You can boost your chances of scoring an unbeatable deal if you’re not tied to particular travel dates, flight times and airlines. Also compare the prices of flying into and out of alternative airports if that’s a possibility.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Essen?
Most flights are free to cancel within 24 hours of making the reservation. However, some flights are non-refundable, and you may receive a flight credit from the airline to use for a future booking. For more information, please visit our Customer Service Portal.
