Cheap Flights to Universal City from HK$3,381

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Universal City before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Universal City in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
