Cheap Flights to Hercules from HK$304

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Hercules.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hercules in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually 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.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
