Cheap Flights to Gelnica from HK$248

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Gelnica holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Gelnica, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
