Flights to Ozu, Ehime Prefecture from NT$6,220

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ozu could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Ozu, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• 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 no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
