Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Munakata escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
