No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Kleinheubach holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
