Cheap Flights to Esperance from HK$3,487

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Esperance in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Esperance in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger 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. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
