Cheap Flights to Dumas from HK$7,045

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Dumas escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and take a jacket just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Dumas, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
