Flights to Kato, Hyogo Prefecture from NT$4,693

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Kato vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kato in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be 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 chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
