Cheap Flights to Kincumber from HK$1,536

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kincumber could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kincumber in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
