Cheap Flights to Dugspur from HK$1,480

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Dugspur holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols 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 main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Dugspur, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
