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 hightailing it through airport security and exploring Nihommatsu before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
