Cheap Flights to Yatsushiro from HK$694

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Yatsushiro in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Yatsushiro before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
