Cheap Flights to Hobson from HK$1,877

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your getaway in Hobson.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Hobson a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
