Cheap Flights to Shomi from HK$567

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Shomi in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Shomi in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually 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 inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes 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 suitcase.
