Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Gifu could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Gifu, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
