Cheap Flights to Taytay from HK$659

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Taytay could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents 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 knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Taytay in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
