Going overseas for first time in years - stuff to know?
Discussion
As subject I haven't been abroad for years but have to go to Germany for a few days with work.
Seems simple enough on paper, get taken to airport, catch plane, get picked up other end, spend a few days at/around the venue, do the same trip in reverse.
But I haven't been through an airport since before 9/11 so I'm hopelessly out of touch with anything I may need to know around modern plane travel.
Main thing I'm aware of is common sense stuff like no sharp stuff or liquids in your carry-on and don't ask "Can I hold your gun officer?".
I'll have a read on the airline website as the info will all be out there but anything not so obvious would be good to know.
