Cheap Flights to Aley from HK$586

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Aley.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Aley in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
