• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Matsuura, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It’s also possible you’ll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
