Cheap Flights to Fox Harbour from HK$985

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Fox Harbour holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Fox Harbour a breeze. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked 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 not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
