We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Ikejiri in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ikejiri in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
