Cheap Flights to Yantis from HK$1,179

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Yantis could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Yantis a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
