• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

It’s all about being prepared. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Sendai, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• 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 all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There’s a good chance you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
