Cheap Flights to Sydney from HK$10,151

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Sydney in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight 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 catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Sydney a piece of cake. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
