Cheap Flights to Julian from HK$8,324

If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Julian. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Julian a piece of cake. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
