Cheap Flights to Amanda from HK$6,920

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Amanda could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Amanda in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• 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 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
