Cheap Flights to Naracoorte from HK$499

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Naracoorte escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Naracoorte in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. 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.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
