Cheap Flights to Arch Cape from HK$1,454

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Arch Cape holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Arch Cape, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
