No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Resia vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
