Cheap Flights to Longos from HK$252

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

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and bring a cardigan just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Longos in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
