Cheap Flights to Harrop Fold from HK$5,256

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Harrop Fold could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes 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 can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Harrop Fold a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
