Cheap Flights to Wynyard from HK$3,610

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Wynyard. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Wynyard easy and painless. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
