Cheap Flights to Ii from HK$1,983

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Ii escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ii in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
