Cheap Flights to Sirac from HK$862

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Sirac escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Sirac, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
