If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your time in Kokonoe. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
