Cheap Flights to Passy from HK$376

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Passy vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Passy, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
