Cheap Flights to Iki from HK$321

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Iki holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Iki a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, 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), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
