No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy hints that will get your Omihachiman holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
