Cheap Flights to Jupiter from HK$2,641

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your holiday in Jupiter. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Jupiter in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
