Cheap Flights to Arillas from HK$491

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Arillas vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Arillas a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
