Cheap Flights to Kefalas from HK$1,969

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Kefalas vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling 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 of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Kefalas, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
