Cheap Flights to Flaca from HK$416

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Flaca. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Flaca, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
