Cheap Flights to Yaizu from HK$499

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Yaizu escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Yaizu before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
