Cheap Flights to Tilapa from HK$2,377

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Tilapa could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take 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 hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Tilapa, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
