Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will get your Tsuruga escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
