Cheap Flights to Ocean Grove from HK$397

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Ocean Grove holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ocean Grove in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
