Cheap Flights to Rumsey from HK$585

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Rumsey escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Rumsey a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
