Cheap Flights to Gumbet from HK$1,074

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gumbet could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Gumbet, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
