We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Yukuhashi before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Yukuhashi, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. 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, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
