Cheap Flights to Street from HK$746

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your time in Street.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Street quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
