Cheap Flights to Santur from HK$377

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

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Santur, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
