Cheap Flights to Gunthorpe from HK$2,044

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Gunthorpe holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Gunthorpe quick and painless. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
