Cheap Flights to Indian Creek from HK$542

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Indian Creek escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents 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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before your flight can make your trip to Indian Creek easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
