Cheap Flights to Vo from HK$383

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Vo could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• 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.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Vo easy and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to 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 is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
