Cheap Flights to Tarano from HK$727

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Tarano escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tarano in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
