Cheap Flights to Solata from HK$692

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Solata could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, 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 an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Solata in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
