Cheap Flights to Gellilydan from HK$749

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Gellilydan escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Gellilydan, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or 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 luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
