Cheap Flights to Saijo

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Saijo escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

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 one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Saijo, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
