If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Numazu. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
