Cheap Flights to Achrol from HK$216

If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Achrol. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Achrol in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as 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 phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
