Cheap Flights to Paralio Astros from HK$533

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Paralio Astros could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Paralio Astros a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
