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

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Kyotanba, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
