Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sagamihara could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
