Cheap Flights to Salwa from HK$782

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Salwa could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also recommended.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Salwa in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. 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.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
