Cheap Flights to Otto from HK$1,265

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Otto could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Otto in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
