Cheap Flights to Clifty from HK$1,480

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Clifty in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Clifty, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
