Cheap Flights to Glen Rock from HK$1,291

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Glen Rock could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Glen Rock, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
