We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Teufenbach in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
