Cheap Flights to Holt from HK$8,951

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Holt escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Holt in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
