Cheap Flights to Fishers Island from HK$1,260

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Fishers Island in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze 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) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Fishers Island in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
