Cheap Flights to Elfrida from HK$5,472

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Elfrida holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Elfrida a pleasure. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
