No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Leopoldsdorf vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and bring a pullover just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
