Cheap Flights to Thackerville from HK$1,490

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Thackerville before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Thackerville, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
