If you’re not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Gifu.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• You’ve probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Gifu before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID close by. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
