Flights to Iwashita, Kosa from NT$6,479

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Iwashita in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned 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:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Iwashita before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
