We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Imabari in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Imabari quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
