Cheap Flights to Komatsu from HK$541

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Komatsu in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Komatsu a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
