Cheap Flights to Ardines from HK$538

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ardines could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Ardines a piece of cake. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume 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 sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
