Cheap Flights to Arase from HK$2,670

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Arase could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Arase, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
