Cheap Flights to Roaring Gap from HK$1,327

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Roaring Gap holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets 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-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Roaring Gap a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
