Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Flims could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
