Cheap Flights to Dongko from HK$2,454

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Dongko. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Dongko in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove 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 inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
