Cheap Flights to Mt Richmond Forest Park from HK$5,596

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Mt Richmond Forest Park.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Mt Richmond Forest Park easy and painless. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
