Cheap Flights to Traves from HK$3,602

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Traves vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Traves, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, 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), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
