Cheap Flights to Palm Shores from HK$781

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Palm Shores could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Palm Shores, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
