Cheap Flights to Ryan from HK$2,282

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy hints that will get your Ryan escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Ryan a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
