Cheap Flights to Delacour from HK$180

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Delacour could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Delacour in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
