Cheap Flights to Millthorpe from HK$9,417

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Millthorpe. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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 Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended 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 improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Millthorpe a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
