Flights to Yumura, Kami from NT$5,080

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Yumura vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Yumura a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
