Cheap Flights to Geary from HK$1,953

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Geary escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Geary, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
