Cheap Flights to Gamoi from HK$7,523

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Gamoi holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Gamoi, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
