Cheap Flights to Young Harris from HK$808

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Young Harris could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Young Harris in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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 in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
