Cheap Flights to Spay from HK$1,128

If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Spay. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Spay before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
