Cheap Flights to Catus from HK$418

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your time in Catus.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit 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 baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Catus in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
