Getting ready for Germany

Booking your flight ticket

The very first thing to do after receiving your visa is to book your flight ticket. This can be done easily online or by visiting the office of the airline you wish travel with.

Here are some online portals which provide discounted tickets:

• Skyscanner (https://www.skyscanner.de/)
• Cheapflights ( https://www.cheapflights.com/)
• Cheapair (https://www.cheapair.com/)
• Farecompare (https://www.farecompare.com/)

There are other service providers as well which you can use to purchase tickets, but before booking, make sure you check the cost of that flight on different platforms. It is also recommended to check the available flights by changing times of the day on the portal. Sometimes, flights with the same IDs vary in cost on different times and days. Good luck with flight search.

Pack Away!

Now, moving to an entirely different country can be a difficult task. Similarly, deciding what to carry and what not to is a related complicated endeavour.

In the hustle and bustle of getting things done on time, one often forgets to pack the simplest of necessities required on a daily basis. The button below redirects you to a comprehensive list of items which you can use to manage your luggage items.

I understand that that the list is huge and you might not be inclined to carry everything. However, this comprehensive list covers almost everything and you can choose a subset of items from these to carry along with you.

In the list, you might find some items highlighted in bold. I highly recommend purchasing these items before coming to Germany because either you will immediately need to use them or you will find them a bit expensive in Germany.

Note(s):

• It is beneficial to carry some amount in cash (around 500 euros) with you. Your account unblocking might take a couple of days and hence you can use that amount meanwhile.

Fin.
