No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve prepared well. We’ve put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Yugawara escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Yugawara a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
