We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be speeding through the airport and discovering Sasebo in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z’s, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
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, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
