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

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Takamatsu, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
