Cheap Flights to Champier from HK$4,359

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Champier holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Champier in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
