Cheap Flights to Rodakino from HK$399

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Rodakino escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Rodakino, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
