Cheap Flights to Chatsworth from HK$1,278

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Chatsworth could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chatsworth in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky 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 luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
