Cheap Flights to Demorest from HK$615

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Demorest holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Demorest, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
