Cheap Flights to Fairview from HK$1,684

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Fairview holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fairview in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things 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 set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
