Cheap Flights to Joyce from HK$465

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Joyce holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Joyce a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
