Cheap Flights to Oakwood Village from HK$4,185

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Oakwood Village.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Oakwood Village, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
