Cheap Flights to Purdon from HK$3,824

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Purdon holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Purdon, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? 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 can keep it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
