Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Modra could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
