We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Shimadadai in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Shimadadai, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
