Cheap Flights to Sturdies Bay from HK$462

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sturdies Bay could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Sturdies Bay, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
