Cheap Flights to Alfafara from HK$306

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Alfafara holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Alfafara, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
