Cheap Flights to Minamiuonuma from HK$785

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Minamiuonuma could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before your flight can make your trip to Minamiuonuma a breeze. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
