Cheap Flights to Tavernier from HK$497

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tavernier could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Tavernier in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
