Cheap Flights to Mount Hermon from HK$585

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mount Hermon could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. 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 air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Mount Hermon, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
