• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is --- be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Kashiwazaki, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
