Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Kuroishi escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
