Cheap Flights to Caux from HK$245

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Caux vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Caux before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky 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, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
