Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Atami could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
