Cheap Flights to Velo-Vocha from HK$481

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Velo-Vocha holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your trip to Velo-Vocha a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand 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, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
