Cheap Flights to Cardwell from HK$715

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cardwell could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive 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:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Cardwell easy and painless. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
