Cheap Flights to Ronde from HK$2,331

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Ronde holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ronde in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
