Cheap Flights to Eureka from HK$8,132

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your holiday in Eureka. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Eureka, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things 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 moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
