Cheap Flights to Olhuveli from HK$659

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Olhuveli could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Olhuveli, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite 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-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
