Cheap Flights to Chew Stoke from HK$343

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Chew Stoke holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Chew Stoke, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
