Cheap Flights to Dicmo from HK$177

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Dicmo escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit 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 one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Dicmo in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually 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 in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
