Cheap Flights to Cassidy from HK$731

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Cassidy. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul 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.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Cassidy a breeze. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
