Cheap Flights to Apsiou from HK$542

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Apsiou could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly 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 lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Apsiou quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
