Cheap Flights to Gelting from HK$424

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

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Gelting a pleasure. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
