Cheap Flights to Cave-in-Rock from HK$3,098

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

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Cave-in-Rock easy and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, 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. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
