Cheap Flights to Gressy from HK$310

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Gressy holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Gressy a pleasure. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
