If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your getaway in Tschagguns. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
