Cheap Flights to Raymond from HK$8,141

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Raymond could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Raymond a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
