Flights to Yura, Wakayama Prefecture from NT$2,785

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Yura could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple --- be organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Yura, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or 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 can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
