Cheap Flights to Mount Joy from HK$1,480

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Mount Joy in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo 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 by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Mount Joy a pleasure. Read through our top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
