Cheap Flights to Theologos from HK$464

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Theologos vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Theologos in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
