Cheap Flights to Leakey from HK$4,079

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Leakey holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

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 pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Leakey a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
