If you’re not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Osaka.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Osaka in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There’s a chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
