Cheap Flights to Paphos from HK$516

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Paphos could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Paphos in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
