Cheap Flights to Victoria from HK$690

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Victoria in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Victoria, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
