Do you have any tips for my flight to Kyoto?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Kyoto in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kyoto?
The secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kyoto in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
