Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ichinomiya could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
