Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Machida could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
