Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Onahama could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Onahama easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
