Cheap Flights to Renfrew from HK$476

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Renfrew escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Renfrew in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. 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 quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
