What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Yurihama in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
