We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Daisen in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
