Cheap Flights to Bobs Creek from HK$1,271

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in Bobs Creek. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bobs Creek in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite 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-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
