Cheap Flights to Firefly from HK$820

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Firefly could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Firefly, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
