Cheap Flights to Salt Springs from HK$485

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Salt Springs holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Salt Springs, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
