Cheap Flights to Woodward from HK$9,520

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Woodward holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Woodward in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
