Cheap Flights to Oakwood from HK$1,711

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Oakwood could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Oakwood a breeze. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance 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 items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
