Do you have any tips for my flight to Shibata?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Shibata could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Shibata?
The secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Shibata in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:
  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
