Cheap Flights to Aub from HK$1,171

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Aub could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Aub, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
