Flights to Ogori, Fukuoka Prefecture from NT$3,386

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy tips that will get your Ogori vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ogori in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close 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.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
