• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

It’s all about being prepared. We’ve compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Oshu, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
