Cheap Flights to Dobel from HK$1,078

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Dobel escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Dobel in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
