Cheap Flights to Skirling from HK$250

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Skirling could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to Skirling a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
