If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Innsbruck. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure 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 can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
