Cheap Flights to Milroy from HK$8,694

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Milroy could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Milroy, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, 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 have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
