Cheap Flights to Sovik from HK$857

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

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Sovik, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, 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.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
