Flights to Toki, Gifu Prefecture from NT$4,379

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

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Toki, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
