Cheap Flights to Vize from HK$1,088

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Vize escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Vize a pleasure. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
