Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Fujisawa holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
