Cheap Flights to Kashima from HK$336

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Kashima in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Kashima, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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 in the cabin.
