Cheap Flights to Canadian from HK$5,167

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Canadian in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Canadian, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• 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 in the cabin.
