Cheap Flights to Tsing Yi from CA $113

If you're not prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Tsing Yi. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Tsing Yi, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
