Cheap Flights to Carisbrook from HK$1,338

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Carisbrook could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Carisbrook a breeze. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
