Cheap Flights to Tamasi from HK$143

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Tamasi escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Tamasi, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
