Cheap Flights to Brooks Bay from HK$438

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Brooks Bay in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

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 restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Brooks Bay, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
