Cheap Flights to Adelaide Lead from HK$1,782

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Adelaide Lead holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Adelaide Lead, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
