Cheap Flights to Cape Jervis from HK$416

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Cape Jervis. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Cape Jervis in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
