Do you have any tips for my flight to Arakawa?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Arakawa in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, 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 Arakawa?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Arakawa a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Traveling with your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
