Your trip to Kyoto begins as soon as you've finished all the security checks. Here are some hints and tips to ensure you pass through quickly:

• Be sure you know the whereabouts of your travel ID and boarding pass. You don't want to hold up the queue when you're asked to hand them over.
• You'll have to pause the tunes for a short while. Earphones and headphones need to be removed and put in a bin for X-raying. The same applies to items such as heavy jackets and belts.
• Ensure your electronic devices and laptop are within reach. These items need to be put through the X-ray machine in separate tubs.
• Traveling with a favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's placed in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it in your hand luggage.
• The airport security will likely ask you to remove your shoes for the body scanner. Pick a pair that come off easily. There's nothing worse than having to do your laces up again and again.
• Pack any multi-tools or other pointy metal items inside your checked luggage. Security personnel don't allow these on the plane.
