Cheap Flights to Tome from HK$9,295

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tome could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Tome, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the 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.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
