Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Yamanashi holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
