Cheap Flights to Cottonvale from HK$503

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Cottonvale could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Cottonvale a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
