Cheap Flights to Satsuma from HK$9,316

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Satsuma holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Satsuma, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
