Cheap Flights to Port Jackson from HK$3,066

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Port Jackson escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Port Jackson quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
