Cheap Flights to Archipolis from HK$1,011

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Archipolis.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Archipolis a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy 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 safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
