Cheap Flights to Chella from HK$397

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Chella could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Chella, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
