Cheap Flights to Conco from HK$962

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Conco holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Conco easy and painless. Below are some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster 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 tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
