Cheap Flights to His from HK$6,337

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to His could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out His, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single 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 shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
