Cheap Flights to Kannawa Onsen from HK$828

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will get your Kannawa Onsen holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kannawa Onsen in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
