Cheap Flights to Yabu from HK$413

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Yabu could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Yabu in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
