Cheap Flights to Hayborough from HK$727

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Hayborough holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Hayborough a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
