Flights to Miyazaki, Miyazaki Prefecture from NT$3,396

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Miyazaki could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Miyazaki quick and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
