Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Narusawa escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel 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 or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
