Cheap Flights to Ordinary from HK$1,185

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ordinary could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Ordinary, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
