Cheap Flights to Ceres from HK$848

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Ceres before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ceres in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
