Cheap Flights to Elberon from HK$1,031

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Elberon. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Elberon before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
