Cheap Flights to Gaschurn from HK$309

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Gaschurn escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Gaschurn a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on 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 in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
