Cheap Flights to Aegina from HK$296

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Aegina in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

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

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Aegina quick and painless. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
