We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Shimo-kobi in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Shimo-kobi in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger 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 to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
