If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Toyonaka.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
