Cheap Flights to Hartsop from HK$4,260

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hartsop could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled 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, travel docs, cash and daily 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 good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hartsop in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
