Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Mondsee escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring 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 hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
