Cheap Flights to Mortola from HK$480

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Mortola in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Mortola a breeze. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? Not a 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, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
