Cheap Flights to Goodwick from HK$3,895

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Goodwick. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Goodwick before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Travelling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
