Cheap Flights to Silla from HK$318

If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your holiday in Silla. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by prolonged 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 lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Silla a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often 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 quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
