Cheap Flights to Dryden from HK$854

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Dryden could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure 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 banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Dryden, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
