Cheap Flights to Sorbas from HK$548

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Sorbas escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Sorbas, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
