Cheap Flights to Gobo from HK$5,225

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gobo could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Gobo in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
