Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Amakusa could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don’t forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Amakusa quick and painless. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents close by. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
