Cheap Flights to Toon from HK$470

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Toon could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Toon in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, 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 easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
