Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Sekigahara-cho holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze 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) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
