Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Befukyo Onsen escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Befukyo Onsen, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
