Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Nagoya could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
