Cheap Flights to Kalata from HK$489

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

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Kalata a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
