Flights to Ino, Kochi Prefecture from NT$6,797

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Ino. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some 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 plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring 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 the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Ino quick and painless. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or 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-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
