Cheap Flights to Gram from HK$848

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Gram before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Gram easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the 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.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
