We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Wakayama before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. 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 treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
