Cheap Flights to Arca from HK$1,768

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Arca.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Arca easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
