Cheap Flights to Hamatonbetsu from HK$496

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Hamatonbetsu in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Hamatonbetsu a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a 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-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
