Cheap Flights to Heralec from HK$289

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Heralec vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Heralec, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
