We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Bregenz in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
