Cheap Flights to Saikai from HK$644

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Saikai could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Saikai, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
