Cheap Flights to Fuvahmulah from HK$482

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Fuvahmulah escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

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 in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fuvahmulah in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by 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 that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
