Cheap Flights to Garies from HK$616

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Garies. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Garies, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
