Flights to Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture from NT$5,030

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Sagamihara before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Sagamihara a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal 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 gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
