Do you have any tips for my flight to Kumano?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Kumano holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kumano?
The secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Kumano in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:
  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
