Cheap Flights to Goldvein from HK$1,492

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Goldvein vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Goldvein in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
