Flights to Nagaizumi, Shizuoka Prefecture from NT$3,694

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Nagaizumi in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Nagaizumi quick and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
