Cheap Flights to Eagle Mountain from HK$3,750

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Eagle Mountain in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room 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:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Eagle Mountain before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
