Cheap Flights to Grube from HK$462

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Grube escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

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 zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Grube in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
