Do you have any tips for my flight to Franz Josef Glacier?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Franz Josef Glacier could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Franz Josef Glacier?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Franz Josef Glacier, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
