We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Izumi in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Izumi in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
