Cheap Flights to Nemo from HK$1,691

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Nemo in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Nemo before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
