How to survive the flight to Matsushima?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Matsushima.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and don’t forget to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Matsushima?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Matsushima, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra 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 in the cabin.
