Cheap Flights to Antlers from HK$1,175

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Antlers escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Antlers, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
