Cheap Flights to Bracca from HK$212

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Bracca holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

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 compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bracca in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
