I wear a cpap to sleep. Do any cabins have an electrical outlet?
@Insidethetravellab
@Insidethetravellab 15 дней назад
From memory, yes they do. But please check directly for something as important as this - also, the electricity supply wasn't enormously reliable, unfortunately.

for everyone interesteg in youth culture, here are some austrian bands which are popular right now in Austria. Here is a list and an example-song: Bilderbuch ("Maschin", "Plansch") Leyya ("Zoo", "The Fall", "Solitude") Wanda ("Columbo", "Bolognia") Naked Cameo ("Shangri La", "Dead Weight") Sharktank ("HAPPY", "Too much") Josh. ("Cordula Grün", "Von dir ein Tattoo") Folkshilfe ("Mir laungts", "Maria Dolores") Pressyes ("Atlantic Ocean Spray", "Years") My Ugly Clementine ("Who", "The Good The Bad The Ugly") One ticket should not be more than 40€. Most tickets will be more like 25€. Because "big bands" in austria are still kind of "small" compared to Coldplay, Rammstein etc, but we love them. If you have the chance to visit a concert, do it :D

Just visited this a few weeks ago. Our guide was Roman Erler (in 4:18). I didn't know he was the person who discovered the ice cave till after the tour! It was the non-tourist season and they didn't do the usual thing of splitting the group into German and English speakers, and so I probably missed out on listening about how he discovered the place.

I honestly have the BIGGEST problems with sleep. I can't wear an eyemask because I have texture sensitivity. I can't use a travel pillow because whatever way I use it, my neck aches just as much as if I hadn't used at all so with or without, the aches which is not conducive to sleep. I can't take melatonin or any sleep aids because they make me feel awful and often throw up which I'd rather NOT do on a plane. So yeah, lucky to get 30 mins A thing I find also helps with the dryness, if your skin gets super dehydrated, buy a little empty spray bottle and fill it with water after security to mist on if your skin feels icky. I also find even if you take plugs you should take a power bank because I guess I'm just the unluckiest person ever but even if the airport or my seat has a charging place, I always get the one isn't working! That or at airports when people are all filling up the seats by the charging stations, which is even more annoying when no one is using it and there's plenty of other seats! I'm always too polite to ask someone to move!

Wonderful thanks for all your suggestions. One additional suggestion I would give is instead of bringing a bag to make the footstool I recently bought folding padded small leg hammock that I has a strap I place over my tray table hinge and its adjustable and it allows your legs to be raised and stretched out in front under the seat ahead of you. Makes sleeping in coach on long haul flights much much easier and more comfortable. Also melatonin tablets or mild sleeping tablet like Tempazepam is a great help with sleeping on long flights.
@howtosober
@howtosober Год назад
Sigh... it must be nice to be short enough that when you stick your legs in a scarf tied to the tray table they're actually stretched out, rather than just bent the same way they are on the floor except in the air.
@anniemurtagh-monks7519
@anniemurtagh-monks7519 Год назад
@@howtosober it’s not a scarf it’s a memory foam foldable hammock and i’m 5foot 8in and it works well for me. you adjust the strap so your feet sit horizontal right under the seat in front.

It's a nice video, but there's a lot wrong with it! I come from Kirchdorf, the neighboring community of St.Johann! At minute 2:58 this is not the Harschbichel but the long mountain grade is called Niederkaiser! The Harschbichel is on the Kitzbüheler Horn in St.Johann where the gondola lift goes up, and right at the top is the Harschbichelhütte of the same name! And that at the end with the bunny of the show dairy where the cheese is made is not St.Johann but in Gasteig municipality of Kirchdorf at Bernd Widauer, because the daughter is in a relationship with my cousin!
