Flights to Uchihana, Izena from NT$3,386

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Uchihana could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Uchihana a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets 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 in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
