Cheap Flights to Ona from HK$1,641

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Ona holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ona before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
