Cheap Flights to Johnstone from HK$335

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Johnstone.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Johnstone quick and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
