How to survive the flight to Sendai?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Sendai could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sendai?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Sendai, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
