Cheap Flights to Fot from HK$279

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Fot escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change 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 knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is 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 tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Fot in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
