Cheap Flights to Asphodel-Norwood from HK$556

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Asphodel-Norwood could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Asphodel-Norwood a breeze. Here are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
