Cheap Flights to Oaktown from HK$1,007

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Oaktown vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Oaktown a breeze. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
