Flights to Nanto, Toyama Prefecture from NT$4,641

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Nanto could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Nanto a piece of cake. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
