We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Inawashiro before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
