Cheap Flights to Salt Flat from HK$1,218

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Salt Flat before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Salt Flat before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, 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.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
