Cheap Flights to Vid from HK$391

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Vid before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Vid quick and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand 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 inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
