Cheap Flights to Acu from HK$464

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Acu holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Acu in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever 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 safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
