Cheap Flights to Holar from HK$369

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Holar could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Holar in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
