Cheap Flights to Achim from HK$4,209

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Achim holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Achim, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
