Cheap Flights to Carspach from HK$1,316

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Carspach holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand 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 aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Carspach before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
