Cheap Flights to Crodo from HK$1,703

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your time in Crodo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Crodo a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. 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 on board.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
