Cheap Flights to North Grafton from HK$4,195

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your holiday in North Grafton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to North Grafton quick and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
