Cheap Flights to Carcross from HK$1,091

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Carcross holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Carcross, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
