We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Kushima in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kushima in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
