Cheap Flights to Tenninkyo Onsen from HK$815

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Tenninkyo Onsen holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Tenninkyo Onsen easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, 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 before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
