Cheap Flights to Takamatsu

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Takamatsu. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Takamatsu, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
