Cheap Flights to Dhekelia from HK$486

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Dhekelia could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Dhekelia in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
