Flights to Fujiidera, Osaka from NT$6,135

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fujiidera could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Fujiidera quick and painless. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
