Cheap Flights to Mullumbimby Creek from HK$358

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Mullumbimby Creek in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The trick is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mullumbimby Creek in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
