Cheap Flights to Kyotanabe from HK$829

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Kyotanabe before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Kyotanabe, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
