Question 8

How to survive the flight to Okinawa?

Accepted Answer

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Okinawa in no time at all.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater just in case you get cold. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Okinawa, here you come:

Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
