Cheap Flights to Upland from HK$1,328

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Upland vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Upland, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
