Cheap Flights to Arcade from HK$390

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Arcade could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Arcade easy and painless. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
