Cheap Flights to Tolbanos from HK$1,905

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Tolbanos holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Tolbanos before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They'll be 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 things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
