Cheap Flights to Saluda from HK$13,689

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Saluda in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

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

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• 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. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
