If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Buzen. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
