Cheap Flights to Kating from HK$846

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Kating escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Kating, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
