Cheap Flights to Hang Gai from HK$634

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Hang Gai. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Hang Gai, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
