Cheap Flights to Chikuzen from HK$327

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your getaway in Chikuzen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Chikuzen, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
