Cheap Flights to Vis from HK$343

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Vis before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Vis a pleasure. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
