Cheap Flights to Kakegawa from HK$459

If you're not prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Kakegawa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Kakegawa a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
