If you’re not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Nonoichi.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you’ll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Nonoichi in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can’t travel without your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
