Cheap Flights to Nakayamadaira Onsen from HK$670

If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Nakayamadaira Onsen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Nakayamadaira Onsen a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
