• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don’t forget to pack a jacket in case you get cold. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Fujimi quick and painless. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They’re the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
