Cheap Flights to Sikhio from HK$446

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sikhio could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Sikhio a pleasure. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• 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.
