Cheap Flights to Vaaksy from HK$359

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Vaaksy before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Vaaksy, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• 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 in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
