We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Nakamachi in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nakamachi in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
