Cheap Flights to Dat Do from HK$417

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Dat Do in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Dat Do, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• 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.
