We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Mashu Onsen in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Mashu Onsen a pleasure. Check out our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
