Flights to Kisarazu, Chiba Prefecture from NT$5,230

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Kisarazu vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Kisarazu, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
