Do you have any tips for my flight to Tokyo?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Tokyo holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tokyo?
The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Tokyo in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger 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 baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.

Tokyo Flights

An extraordinarily lively city, Tokyo is a destination that will never leave you bored. From the modern shopping district of Shibuya to the culturally and historically rich Sumida; the vibrant nightlife on Roppongi to the peaceful solitude of Taito, there is not a single corner of this unique locale that does not have something of real value to offer its visitors.
Although the city itself can be expensive, cheap flights to Tokyo are easy to find if you plan ahead.

Best time to travel to Tokyo

Peak Season:

Unlike other destinations, accommodation and flights to Tokyo are actually reasonably-priced during its peak season, which falls from April to May and September to November. Despite this, the city is still thronged with visitors who come to take advantage of the temperate weather, and view the foliage turn in the Meguro district and the cherry blossoms bloom at Yoyogi Park.

Shoulder Season:

While most locals will try to flee the hot weather from July to August, tourists still manage to flood the city. If you do not mind the warmth, this is a great time to play at the Nekobukuro or at the Tokyo Dome, stroll through Ueno-Kōen, or take a Sumida-Gawa river cruise.

Off Season:

Crowds are thin and flights are inexpensive from December to January. These months tend to be cold, but they offer quite a bit to those willing to brave the climate, such as a chance to tour the Imperial Palace on the Emperor’s birthday in December, mingle with the locals at a Kabuki-za performance, or view the Kiyosumi Teien garden in peace.
