Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Beppu could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
