Your packing list for Germany

Everything to sort before you fly from Montserrat.

  1. A plug adapter for Type F outlets, one per device you charge at the same time.
  2. Nothing to convert: Germany runs at 230V, like home.
  3. Germany runs at 50Hz. Chargers don't mind; motors and mains-timed clocks may run differently.
  4. A power bank in your carry-on, not your checked bag. Under 100Wh needs no airline approval.
  5. One multi-port USB-C charger, so a single outlet charges everything.

Worth packing on any trip

Small things that make long travel days easier, whichever outlet you end up next to.

Power bank

Keeps your phone going on travel days. Carry it on; airlines ban power banks from checked bags.

Look for

  • Under 100Wh (about 27,000mAh)
  • USB-C in and out
  • Watt-hours (Wh) printed on the case

Multi-port USB-C charger

One dual-voltage charger for phone, laptop and watch, so you need one adapter.

Look for

  • 100-240V input
  • Enough watts for your laptop
  • Two or more USB-C ports

Long USB-C cable

Hotel outlets are rarely next to the bed. Two metres reaches.

Look for

  • 2m long
  • Rated for your charger's watts
  • Braided
