No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Unterschächen holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
