Cheap Flights to Selma from HK$1,767

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Selma could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Selma, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
