Cheap Flights to Matsuda from HK$685

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Matsuda.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Matsuda easy and painless. Check out our handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
