Air travel medicines always belong in the hand luggage
Those who can escape the currently often wet and cold weather by traveling to the sunny south are to be envied. But for some tourists there is bad news on arrival at the airport: The suitcase does not arrive. It is especially bad if they are important medicines. These and other essentials are always in your hand luggage.
The most important thing in hand luggage
Although there is no high season at the moment, many people are starting to travel to distant countries in the autumn too. Especially if the holiday destination is far away and the journey takes a long time, you should avoid a possible risk of thrombosis during air travel, for example by stretching your legs over and over, running around and drinking a lot of water. But already during the travel preparation, there is a lot to consider. Since it can sometimes happen that one is confronted at the destination with the luggage belt emptying without its own suitcase, the most important thing should always be stowed in hand luggage. The travel blogger Judith Bez, who runs the website www.packliste-reise.de, has some tips in a message from the news agency dpa, which definitely belongs in it.

Only recently, the German Senior League had pointed out that especially seniors should pack medicines better in hand luggage. The blogger also recommends this - not only for the elderly. As the message says, this does not usually pose a security-related problem within the European Union, as the staff there would not recognize the tablets and pills. According to Bez, that could happen in distant countries. One can therefore play it safe, if you take a certificate from the doctor. In addition, there are corresponding forms on the Internet in several languages. The doctor indicates what the medicine is and that you urgently need it. Arrived at the resort, it is important to protect medicines from heat and possibly store in the refrigerator, advise pharmacists.
Earplugs and sleep mask can help
Of course, in addition to medicines, money and credit cards are also in your hand luggage. And electronics as well: Not only because of the possible loss of something valuable, but also because checked-in suitcases are often treated rather roughly. In addition, Bez advises not to forget the charging cable for the mobile phone. To survive the first few days, a few change gear makes sense. In addition, the blogger recommends packing some snacks for the flight - if the meal does not taste good or there is not one. Good helper for the flight can also be earplugs and sleep mask. (Ad)
