Cheap Flights to Startex from HK$1,218

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Startex could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Startex, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• 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 on board.
