Cheap Flights to Gort from HK$1,794

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gort could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Gort a pleasure. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, 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 electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. 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 quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
