We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Noboribetsu in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Noboribetsu in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• 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 luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
