Cheap Flights to Spilinga from HK$1,440

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Spilinga vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Spilinga, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by 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 trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
