Cheap Flights to Vazerac from HK$1,247

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Vazerac holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Vazerac in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
