Cheap Flights to Apple Hall from HK$1,052

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Apple Hall escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Apple Hall a breeze. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
