Cheap Flights to Sogod from HK$156

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Sogod escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and bring a sweater just in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sogod in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
