Cheap Flights to St. George's from HK$9,644

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to St. George's could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to St. George's in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
