Cheap Flights to Over from HK$1,421

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Over. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Over quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
