Cheap Flights to Verghia from HK$2,265

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Verghia escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Verghia a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
