If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Sakaki. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
