Cheap Flights to Towa from HK$672

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips that will get your Towa holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Towa before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
