Cheap Flights to Grub from HK$485

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Grub could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Grub quick and painless. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
