Cheap Flights to Bayside from HK$1,701

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Bayside vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Bayside easy and painless. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
