Cheap Flights to Helengeli from HK$489

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Helengeli in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Helengeli a breeze. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
