Cheap Flights to McCracken from HK$551

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in McCracken before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out McCracken, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
