Cheap Flights to Oakfield from HK$578

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Oakfield holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• 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 or tights.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Oakfield a piece of cake. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
