Cheap Flights to Comox from HK$1,047

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Comox in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Comox easy and painless. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
