You won't leave without these items. Keep your documents in an easily accessible place. You'll find them quickly at the gate.
- Passport or ID card– check validity one month before departure.

- Wallet and payment cards– ake two different cards and some cash.
Cosmetics and health
The rules are clear. Pack liquid cosmetics into 100 ml bottles. Place everything in a clear cosmetics bag.
- Mini set – toothpaste, toothbrush and antibacterial gel are enough.
- Essential medicines – pack the ones you take regularly and painkillers.
- Bottle with filter – you can fill it with water behind the gates. It's a simple way to save money.
Clothes and suitcase organization
Choose your clothes wisely. Use every inch of your suitcase.
- Comfortable outfit – dress in layers. It can be chilly on a plane.
- Thin blouse or scarf – they take up little space and protect against air conditioning.
