Cheap Flights to Mount Murray from HK$3,963

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

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Mount Murray a breeze. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
