Cheap Flights to Effort from HK$9,398

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Effort could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure 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 air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Effort, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
