Cheap Flights to Adele from HK$1,222

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Adele could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

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

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Adele, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
