Cheap Flights to Imer from HK$563

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

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Imer in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
