Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Hiroshima vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
