Cheap Flights to Calliope from HK$967

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Calliope could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Calliope a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
