Do you have any tips for my flight to Kumamoto?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Kumamoto. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kumamoto?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Kumamoto a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
