Cheap Flights to Oscar from HK$11,114

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Oscar could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Oscar in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
