Cheap Flights to Shuzenji from HK$370

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Shuzenji escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Shuzenji, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• 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 and will be confiscated.
