Cheap Flights to Coton from HK$284

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Coton could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Coton, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
