Cheap Flights to Fuchu from HK$536

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Fuchu escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fuchu before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
