Cheap Flights to Cockburn Town from HK$926

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your holiday in Cockburn Town. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Cockburn Town quick and painless. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything 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.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
