Flights to Izumisano, Osaka from NT$4,997

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Izumisano in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Izumisano, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra 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 luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
