Do you have any tips for my flight to Sakata?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Sakata escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sakata?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sakata in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Have your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
