Cheap Flights to Crescent from HK$5,070

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Crescent. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Crescent a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
