Cheap Flights to Yonago from HK$763

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Yonago. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Yonago in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
