Cheap Flights to Kito from HK$452

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Kito escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

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 in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kito in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
