Cheap Flights to Santurtzi from HK$408

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Santurtzi could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Santurtzi in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
