Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Kyoto vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you’ve got all the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won’t be allowed on board either.
• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Kyoto a breeze. Below you’ll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Can’t travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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 and will be confiscated.
