Cheap Flights to Bicheno from HK$424

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Bicheno in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Bicheno quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
