Cheap Flights to Filiates from HK$1,186

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Filiates in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Filiates, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
