If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your getaway in Yuno Onsen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Yuno Onsen a breeze. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
