Cheap Flights to Tuval from HK$743

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Tuval vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Tuval, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
