Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Pinkafeld could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
