Cheap Flights to Smiths Grove from HK$949

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Smiths Grove could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Smiths Grove a breeze. We've rounded up some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
