Cheap Flights to Deil from HK$589

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Deil before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Deil in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
