Cheap Flights to Ipiau from HK$1,138

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Ipiau holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Ipiau, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety 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, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
