Cheap Flights to Gale from HK$195

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gale could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Gale a pleasure. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Travelling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually 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 safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
