Cheap Flights to Woodview from HK$489

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Woodview holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Woodview, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
