We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Yufuin before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Yufuin in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
