Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Imari Okawachiyama escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Imari Okawachiyama a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
