Cheap Flights to Turkey Point from HK$598

If you're not prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Turkey Point. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Turkey Point, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. 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 on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
