Cheap Flights to Solers from HK$389

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Solers. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze 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 precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Solers, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
