Cheap Flights to Harper from HK$1,456

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Harper could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Harper in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container 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 several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
