Cheap Flights to Imba-mura from HK$648

If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Imba-mura. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Imba-mura a breeze. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
