We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Villach before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
