Flights to Miyota, Nagano Prefecture from NT$4,592

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Miyota could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Miyota quick and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
