Cheap Flights to St. David from HK$2,198

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your St. David vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out St. David, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
