Cheap Flights to Atlantida from HK$7,651

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Atlantida holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Atlantida, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
