Flights to Anjo, Nagoya from NT$4,788

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Anjo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Anjo, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. 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.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
