Cheap Flights to Brinkum from HK$4,068

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Brinkum.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Brinkum, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
