Cheap Flights to Grays from HK$500

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Grays vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Grays easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, 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 such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
