Cheap Flights to Andros Town from HK$489

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Andros Town holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Andros Town quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
