Cheap Flights to Aigen from HK$294

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Aigen could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Aigen quick and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
