Cheap Flights to Keith from HK$336

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Keith could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

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 knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Keith a breeze. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
