Cheap Flights to Silla from HK$1,005

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Silla holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Silla, here you come:

• Keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• 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 usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
