Cheap Flights to Soria from HK$5,172

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Soria holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

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

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
