Cheap Flights to Aksdal from HK$781

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Aksdal holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential 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 get to the airport will make your trip to Aksdal a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
