Cheap Flights to Don Tako from HK$469

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Don Tako vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Don Tako in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
