Cheap Flights to Golden Cross from HK$367

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Golden Cross could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Golden Cross a pleasure. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
