Cheap Flights to Tappen from HK$219

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Tappen holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Tappen easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
