No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Kamaishi escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave 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) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
