Cheap Flights to Soleto from HK$664

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Soleto.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Soleto easy and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
