Cheap Flights to Hanley Swan from HK$334

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hanley Swan could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking 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 knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hanley Swan in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
