Cheap Flights to Redang Island from HK$163

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Redang Island before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Redang Island a pleasure. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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 inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
