Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Itobi could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
