Flights to Buzen, Fukuoka Prefecture from NT$7,762

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Buzen could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Buzen, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
