Cheap Flights to Tolo from HK$312

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Tolo escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Tolo a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
