Cheap Flights to Sterling City from HK$7,109

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your time in Sterling City. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sterling City in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
