Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ibaraki could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.
