Cheap Flights to Sinn from HK$795

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Sinn escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Sinn, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
