Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Yokokawa, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
