Cheap Flights to Acharavi from HK$142

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Acharavi holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Acharavi a breeze. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• 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 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
