Cheap Flights to Shkallnur from HK$133

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Shkallnur holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Shkallnur, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
