Cheap Flights to Tako from HK$528

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Tako in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Tako a pleasure. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• 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 on board.
