Cheap Flights to El Altet from HK$355

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your El Altet vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out El Altet, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
