Cheap Flights to Valdemarsvik from HK$5,573

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Valdemarsvik could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Valdemarsvik a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
