• First, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don’t forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Hatsukaichi quick and painless. Below you’ll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• 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 in the cabin.
