Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. We’ve put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Kumamoto escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
