Cheap Flights to Arao from HK$286

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Arao could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Arao a breeze. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra 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 in the cabin.
