Cheap Flights to Jalance from HK$152

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Jalance could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Jalance quick and painless. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
