If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Bad Mitterndorf. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
