Cheap Flights to Rufus from HK$618

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Rufus escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Rufus a piece of cake. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
