Cheap Flights to Seabrook Island from HK$9,440

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Seabrook Island vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Seabrook Island, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort 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 as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
