Flights to Komaki, Nagoya from NT$4,214

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Komaki. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, 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:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Komaki easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
