Cheap Flights to Rabbit Island from HK$5,526

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Rabbit Island. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Rabbit Island in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required 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 or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
