Cheap Flights to Franktown from HK$3,643

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Franktown holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Franktown in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo 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), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
