Cheap Flights to Eardisland from HK$296

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Eardisland in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Eardisland quick and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
