Cheap Flights to Co To from HK$1,291

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Co To escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Co To easy and painless. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
