Cheap Flights to Helvaci from HK$288

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Helvaci escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Helvaci in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
