Cheap Flights to Antimachia from HK$3,875

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Antimachia could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable 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:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Antimachia in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
