Cheap Flights to Tinopai from HK$3,677

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Tinopai escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tinopai in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at 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 items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
