Cheap Flights to Litchfield from HK$2,146

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Litchfield could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Litchfield a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
