We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Fujisawa in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fujisawa in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
