Cheap Flights to Shelley from HK$2,533

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Shelley holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Shelley a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, 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 minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
