Cheap Flights to Arcen from HK$2,040

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Arcen escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Arcen, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
