Cheap Flights to Helenwood from HK$2,114

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

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Helenwood quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? 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.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
