Cheap Flights to Gap Mills from HK$4,857

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Gap Mills vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and take a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Gap Mills a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
