Cheap Flights to Tux from HK$297

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will get your Tux escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers 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 luggage. 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 pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Tux quick and painless. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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 in the cabin.
