Cheap Flights to Clio from HK$3,665

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Clio. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Clio, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
