Cheap Flights to Livingstone from HK$2,049

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Livingstone in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Livingstone, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger 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 luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
