Cheap Flights to Torrent from HK$649

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Torrent could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Torrent quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
