Cheap Flights to Elia from HK$140

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Elia in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

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 your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Elia a pleasure. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
