Flights to Horie, Matsuyama from NT$2,616

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Horie before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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 by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Horie quick and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
