Cheap Flights to Ugo from HK$649

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Ugo holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Ugo, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. 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 quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
