Cheap Flights to Aliki from HK$430

If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your vacation in Aliki.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Aliki, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
