RM347 Cheap Flights to Sendai

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Sendai in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a 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 socks.

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

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
