We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Hashirajima in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Hashirajima a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
