Cheap Flights to Alberton from HK$690

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Alberton in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

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 in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Alberton in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
