Cheap Flights to Gilette from HK$356

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Gilette. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Gilette, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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 and will be confiscated.
