Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Okayama could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
