Cheap Flights to Avio from HK$425

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Avio vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Avio quick and painless. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
