Cheap Flights to Fredes from HK$311

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Fredes holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Fredes a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
