Cheap Flights to Hazen from HK$4,252

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Hazen escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hazen in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Travelling with a new 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 zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• 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 in the cabin.
