We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Mayrhofen before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
