Cheap Flights to Redbird from HK$4,469

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Redbird.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive 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 zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Redbird easy and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
