Cheap Flights to Cades Bay from HK$1,627

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Cades Bay.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Cades Bay a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
