Cheap Flights to Kinvara from HK$1,210

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kinvara could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop 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 toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Kinvara a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
