Cheap Flights to Potato Point from HK$839

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Potato Point could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Potato Point quick and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
