Cheap Flights to Orange from HK$2,850

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Orange holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

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

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
