Cheap Flights to Martinsdale from HK$1,187

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Martinsdale holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to Martinsdale a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
