Cheap Flights to Koumaris from HK$400

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Koumaris holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Koumaris in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
