Cheap Flights to Miyazu from HK$279

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Miyazu could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Miyazu easy and painless. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remove all 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-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
