Cheap Flights to South Hill from HK$617

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in South Hill. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out South Hill, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater 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 baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
