We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Kutchan in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane 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 flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Kutchan quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
