Cheap Flights to Verdelot from HK$1,543

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Verdelot vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take 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 to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Verdelot, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
