Cheap Flights to Vilasantar from HK$1,769

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Vilasantar vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Vilasantar, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
