Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tachikawa could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

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 knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Tachikawa, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
