Question 10

How to survive the flight to Kyoto?

Accepted Answer

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your holiday in Kyoto.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kyoto?

Accepted Answer

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Kyoto, here you come:

Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-close bag.
Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
