Cheap Flights to Yamagami from HK$585

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your time in Yamagami.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Yamagami easy and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
