Cheap Flights to Archer from HK$5,866

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Archer could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Archer, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
