Cheap Flights to Whitefield from HK$6,895

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Whitefield escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Whitefield easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by 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 through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
