Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Lech am Arlberg escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
