Cheap Flights to Randfontein from HK$1,230

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Randfontein could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Randfontein in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
