Cheap Flights to Solta from HK$178

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Solta holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Solta in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. 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 allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
