Flights to Moriya, Ibaraki Prefecture from NT$3,540

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Moriya could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, 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 best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Moriya in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
