We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and exploring Fuchu in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you’ve got all the right things. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Fuchu a piece of cake. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? 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 allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
• Sharp or pointed items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
