Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Vierkirchen could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
