Cheap Flights to Cassen from HK$1,356

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cassen could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly 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 foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Cassen, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• 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-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
