Flights to Fujikawa, Yamanashi Prefecture from NT$3,701

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Fujikawa.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Fujikawa a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, 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 technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
