Cheap Flights to Liapades from HK$1,076

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Liapades escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Liapades in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
