Cheap Flights to Elmer from HK$9,298

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Elmer escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Elmer easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
