Cheap Flights to Cuvu from HK$1,378

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Cuvu holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Cuvu easy and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
