Cheap Flights to Arconate from HK$636

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Arconate. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Arconate, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
