Cheap Flights to Quern from HK$1,046

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Quern could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Quern easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
