Cheap Flights to Amitie from HK$1,838

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your time in Amitie. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Amitie before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
