Flights to Chek Lap Kok, New Territories from NT$3,415

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Chek Lap Kok vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Chek Lap Kok quick and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
