• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

It’s all about being prepared. We’ve pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Tokushima, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
