Cheap Flights to Uniopolis from HK$1,125

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Uniopolis could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Uniopolis in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
