Cheap Flights to Yuzawa from HK$666

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will get your Yuzawa holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Yuzawa, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
