Cheap Flights to Tuci from HK$640

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tuci could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

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 liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Tuci a pleasure. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
