Cheap Flights to Santhia from HK$521

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Santhia in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Santhia in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
