Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Biei could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. 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 treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
