Cheap Flights to Possidi from HK$966

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Possidi holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Possidi in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance 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 are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
