Cheap Flights to Igis from HK$2,572

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Igis escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Igis a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
