Flights to Ageo, Saitama Prefecture from NT$5,219

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ageo could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Ageo, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without 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-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
