Cheap Flights to Coles Bay from HK$391

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Coles Bay could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case you get cold. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Coles Bay in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
