Cheap Flights to Anfo from HK$692

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Anfo in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Anfo, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
