Cheap Flights to Ittiri from HK$282

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Ittiri vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Ittiri a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
