Cheap Flights to Valley from HK$6,194

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Valley could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Valley before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
