Cheap Flights to Fairhaven from HK$542

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Fairhaven holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by lengthy 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 legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Fairhaven easy and painless. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
