Cheap Flights to East Preston from HK$600

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in East Preston. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to East Preston in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
