No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Otsu escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
