If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your vacation in Izu.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don’t forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Izu a breeze. We’ve rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There’s a chance you’ll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever 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 baggage.
