Cheap Flights to Hakusan from HK$507

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hakusan could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hakusan in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
