• Flying can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Wakayama a pleasure. We’ve compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
