Cheap Flights to Long Ho from HK$598

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Long Ho.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Long Ho a breeze. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
