Cheap Flights to Hanahasu Onsen from HK$507

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your time in Hanahasu Onsen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Hanahasu Onsen quick and painless. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
