We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Sankt Johann in Tirol in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
