Cheap Flights to Goodwater from HK$3,535

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Goodwater. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring 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 guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Goodwater quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
