Cheap Flights to Gorran Haven from HK$845

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gorran Haven could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Gorran Haven in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, 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 such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
