Cheap Flights to Stuart from HK$1,136

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Stuart could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Stuart a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
