Cheap Flights to Cordon from HK$3,947

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Cordon could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Cordon a breeze. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
