Cheap Flights to Freycinet from HK$365

If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Freycinet. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

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 by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Freycinet a breeze. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
