Flights to Masaki, Ehime Prefecture from NT$5,935

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Masaki in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy --- first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Masaki quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
