Cheap Flights to Brick Bay from HK$2,917

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your holiday in Brick Bay. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Brick Bay quick and painless. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
