Cheap Flights to Mosgiel from HK$2,285

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mosgiel could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Mosgiel in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
