Flights to Kanie, Nagoya from NT$5,185

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kanie could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Kanie easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
