Cheap Flights to Stelida from HK$838

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Stelida escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

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) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Stelida a pleasure. Here are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
