Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Setouchi could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We’ve pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don’t have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and don’t forget to pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Setouchi in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It’s also possible you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
