Cheap Flights to Soke from HK$294

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Soke could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Soke, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
