Cheap Flights to Acton Vale from HK$842

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Acton Vale could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Acton Vale in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember 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 quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
