Flights to Ogaki, from NT$3,842

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy tips that will get your Ogaki escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Ogaki, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
