We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Hagi before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hagi in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
