Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Shirahama vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of 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 simple way to help lower your risk.
