Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Iwakuni could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
