Cheap Flights to Hortlax from HK$3,572

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Hortlax in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• 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 ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hortlax before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
