Cheap Flights to Espiel from HK$404

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Espiel holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Espiel a pleasure. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
