Cheap Flights to Ston from HK$777

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Ston holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Ston a breeze. Check out our top tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes 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 bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
