Cheap Flights to The Falls from HK$496

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your vacation in The Falls.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to The Falls easy and painless. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
