Cheap Flights to Polopos from HK$285

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Polopos could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Polopos, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
