We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Matsuda in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Matsuda a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
