Cheap Flights to Burke from HK$3,926

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your time in Burke. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Burke a pleasure. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
