Do you have any tips for my flight to Osaka?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Osaka could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Osaka?
It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Osaka, here you come:
  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
