Cheap Flights to Blackhawk from HK$1,704

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Blackhawk escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Blackhawk before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
