Cheap Flights to Perth East from HK$547

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Perth East in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Perth East before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually 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 in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
