Cheap Flights to Briny Breezes from HK$1,165

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Briny Breezes holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Briny Breezes a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
